Seriously, though...if he was stabbed in his lower leg, and died 2 hours later at a hospital...wouldn’t a tourniquet applied on scene or early on have saved his life?

We did CPR. We kept at it right up until he finally quit bleeding, but he died anyway. We learned from TV and newspapers that one should always perform CPR on a victim.

Pumped him out, did ya?

I’ve done sheep that way, but the intent was always to eat them.

First Aid is confusing- they keep changing things, like the number of breaths and compressions. I give up. Better get rid of the chickens before someone gets hurt.

*snort* Sounds like the guy didn’t want to go to the hospital for fear of arrest, and just bled out. Bad decision.

A torniquet might have saved his life, or it might have cost him his leg - they’re definitely a last-ditch treatment. What he should have done was to apply direct pressure to the wound and called an ambulance.
